TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, GEORGE WILLIAM WHITE, of Greensburg, in the countyof Decatur, and in the State of Indiana', have invented' improvements inLime-Kilns, and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and enact description thereof,- reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making part ofthis specification.

In the annexed drawings, A represents a horizontal limelkiln, which isconstructed of any suitable material. At the rear end of said kiln, Brepresents the chimney for carrying oli' the products of combustion.IThis kiln is constructed so that the rear end is just about '0ne=halfuthe size of the front end, (see red lines,') letters r and s, Figure 2.A section of thekiln is seen in fig. 2, taken'through lines as l:, invFigure 1, while i'lgfl represents a horizontal* vertical section. Theinterior ceiling of this kiln is made in the form of, an arch and alsotapers from front tol rear, (J to' K, iigure,) While the door, W, .being.tapered as above, is also highest at the rear end, m n. At the frontoi' the kiln there are three or' more tire doors,'b, under which areplacedgr'ates, d, to allow the ashes to fall into their respective'pits,e. a-represents an opening above the fire doors to placeV the lime,orvfor other purposes. At the rear eud'of the kiln near the chimneythere is placed a perforated dividing board, C, and through whichperforationsLz, passes the smoke into the receiving flue, D, and fromthence up the chimney, B.

My object is to concentrate'the heat within the kiln, and Aprevent itspassage 4np the flue, and at the same time cause the heat concentratedwithin the kiln to spread andelectnally; and more quickly to kiln thelime. The arrangement of the doors, b, allows the use of either wood orcoal.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to' secure by Letters Patent, is

The horizontal taper lime-kiln A., when constructed as. described, andprovided with the doors 6,' and dividing perforated partition C, in themanner and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing horizontal lime-kiln with two,three,ror more fires, tapering at rear end to about the same capacity asthe irel surface, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 'third dayof December, 1866. 1
